The Birth of Bioethics
This book is the first broad history of the growing field of bioethics. Covering the period 1947-1987, it examines the origin and evolution of the debates over human experimentation, genetic engineering, organ transplantation, termination of life-sustaining treatment, and new reproductive technologies. It assesses the contributions of philosophy, theology, law and the social sciences to the expanding discourse of bioethics. Written by one of the field's founders, it is based on extensive archival research into resources that are difficult to obtain and on interviews with many leading figures. A very readable account of the development of bioethics, the book stresses the history of ideas but does not neglect the social and cultural context and the people involved.
Human Rights and their Limits
Human Rights and their Limits shows that the concept of human rights has developed in waves: each call for rights served the purpose of social groups that tried to stop further proliferation of rights once their own goals were reached. While defending the universality of human rights as norms of behavior, Osiatyński admits that the philosophy on human rights does not need to be universal. Instead he suggests that the enjoyment of social rights should be contingent upon the recipient's contribution to society. He calls for a 'soft universalism' that will not impose rights on others but will share the experience of freedom and help the victims of violations. Although a state of unlimited democracy threatens rights, the excess of rights can limit resources indispensable for democracy. This book argues that, although rights are a prerequisite of freedom, they should be balanced with other values that are indispensable for social harmony and personal happiness.
European Health Law
'European Health Law' is the result of a long-term collaboration project between academic health lawyers working at various European research institutions. The result is a comprehensive volume on health law, exploring various aspects of health law. Health law - as understood by the authors - reflects a so-called triangular relationship between the patient, health provider and health financer. As such, this volume covers a wide range of topics focussing on patients' rights and duties, the role of health professionals, and health care financing and rationing, as well as public health and health related issues, such as occupational health and environmental health.

The Deviant Mystique
Adopting a symbolic interactionist perspective and building extensively on the ethnographic research tradition, this book analyzes the mystique that often accompanies deviance by examining deviance as an ongoing feature of community life. Because deviance is approached in nonprescriptive ways, as a product of community interchange, the emphasis here is on the ways in which deviance is defined, engaged, and regulated. It is examined as the product of human association, as something that is generated by people as they interact with one another, assume viewpoints and initiatives, and try to influence and resist one another within the context of community life. Prus and Grills do not attempt to ...

Judicial Co-Operation in the Eu
Eurojust (the EU Judicial Co-operation Unit) was established by a Council Decision in February 2002 to facilitate judicial co-operation in criminal matters within the EU. It comprises a group of full-time judges and prosecutors, one from each of the 25 EU member states, who assist national authorities in investigation and prosecuting serious cross-border crime, such as terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering and trafficking in human beings. The Committees report finds that Eurojust has proved itself to be a highly effective means of facilitating co-operation in these matters, and notes that the Office of the European Public Prosecutor (to be established in due course) should build on its approach. Five key recommendations are made to further enhance the effectiveness of Eurojust including the need for data protection rules and for closer co-operation with Europol and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF).
